CREW Calgary golf day!

Every year I look forward to the CREW Calgary golf day (note we do not call it a "tournament") because it's non-competitive and a great time. I had Sarah, Jan and Caroline in my foursome. The weather forecast called for rain in the morning but it held off all day - not too hot, not too cold - just right!

Vancouver Golf - July 16

Enjoyed a great day of corporate golf at Morgan Creek Golf Course. I couldn't have asked for a better foursome (Rick, Morley and Brenda) to enjoy the perfect Vancouver weather and awesome views. A great day!

Norman celebrates Canada Day!

Let me introduce you to the newest "member" of our family, Norman. When Andy and I were out for a walk Andy spotted a racoon floating face down in a Bow River tributary near our home and he fished him out and brought the racoon home, setting him outside the kitchen window. The racoon was a big hit with the kids, especially Lyden who gave him his name and immediately felt Norman needed a hat. After failing to craft anything suitable from paper, he and Erin set out on Saturday to find him one. Apparently "build a bear" had exactly what he was looking for - a cowboy hat (a Blue Jays ball cap came in a close 2nd). Erin brought over the Canada Day bandanda and Andy added the Canadian flag to complete the look.

Stewie's visit

Rachel and Tyler were "bird sitting" an African lovebird this weekend named Stewie. They came for a visit and brought Stewie along. Stewie is personality plus - he loves to sit on people's shoulders and demands a lot of attention. Here he is sitting on Andy's shoulder, overseeing our card game with the kids!

Annual trip to Saskatoon Berry Farm

We picked up some beautiful hanging baskets at the farm. We were suprised to see Zimbabwe stone sculpture exhibit and the photo below entitled "we all share" is but one of many beautiful pieces on display.

Bike Ride/Picnic

We are so lucky to live close enough to Fish Creek Provincial Park that we can ride our bikes from home and have a picnic by the river!
